Which of the following statements is true concerning the use of dehydrators in refrigeration systems?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Location and purpose of a liquid-line dehydrator in a refrigeration system • Difference between normal operation and special procedures like pump-down or purging • What a dehydrator (or filter-drier) actually removes from the refrigerant

💭 Think About

• Think about when moisture and small particles are most effectively removed: during every cycle, or only during special procedures? • Consider where in the system the refrigerant is in a high-pressure liquid state—would that be a good place to filter and dry it? • Ask yourself whether pump-down or purging changes the permanent piping arrangement, or if they are just temporary operating procedures.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which line (liquid, suction, or discharge) a permanent dehydrator/filter-drier is typically installed in • Distinguish between continuous protection of the system vs. one-time maintenance operations • Verify what a dehydrator is designed to remove: moisture/acid/particulates, not non‑condensable gases during purging
